        shows an applicant’s ability to apply skills and knowledge gained through education, training, and/or 
        experience.  Licensing demonstrates to the public that an individual is qualified.

        Applicants cannot ask questions to department staff monitoring the examination. The examination instructions, 
        questions, and answers do not require any further explanation.  
        Examination questions test knowledge needed to become a Residential Building Contractor, Residential 
        Remodeler, Residential Roofer, or Manufactured Home Installer. 
        The department provides current statutes and codes as reference materials along with a standard desktop 
        calculator for applicants to use during the examination.  The calculator includes addition, subtraction, 
        multiplication, division, square root, and percentage functions. The reference materials are available for the 
        entire exam. However, applicants should not rely on the reference materials to answer all the questions.  
        No other materials or electronic devices, including cell phones, are allowed in the building.  
        Applicants will automatically fail the examination and be required to submit a new application, including 
        required fees, for the following actions:  
             •   Giving assistance to or receiving it from anyone, including those who are also taking the examination;  
             •   Copying questions or making notes regarding questions; or

        Applicants may leave the examination room to use the restroom within the building.  
        The department may electronically monitor the examination room.  
        Applicants may only view examination materials during the examination because they are classified as 
        nonpublic data per Minnesota Statutes §13.34. This ensures the fairness and integrity of the examination 
        process.

        department designed the examinations to test an applicant’s ability to apply knowledge and the building code 
        to situations they may encounter.  In order to assess applicants, the examinations have: 
             •   Multiple choice questions with answer selections that could be correct. An applicant’s knowledge will 
                 allow them to determine which of the reasonable answers is correct.  
             •   Questions with unnecessary information that test and applicant’s ability to determine what 
                 information is important to answer the question correctly. 
             •   The information contained in the question will direct applicants to apply their knowledge of the subject 
                 area or code to arrive at the correct answer. 
         
        All examination questions are multiple choice.  The question or statement will be followed by five answer 
        options that you may select from.  The examination has different multiple-choice question formats: 
             •   Questions that require applicants to select more than one answer period the question will state how 
                 many answers must be selected. 
             •   Questions phrased negatively so applicants must select the answer options that do not apply.

        The license category an applicant applies for determines the difficulty of the examination and its questions.  For 
        example, the Residential Building Contractor license examination contains questions that are more difficult 
        than the questions contained in Residential Roofer license examination.  A Residential Building Contractor must
